JxBrowser 7.3
Oracle has released the new JDK, Apple has released the new macOS, and we have released the new JxBrowser, supporting both of them, for you to enjoy the updates right away.
Besides, JxBrowser 7.3 got way more stable and reliable with all the fixes and improvements, introduced in this release.
macOS Catalina
This month Apple has announced the public release of macOS Catalina (10.15). JxBrowser 7.3 has been tested on this operating system and now officially supports it.
Java 13
Oracle announced the GA release of JDK 13. And starting with version 7.3 JxBrowser officially supports it on the Windows, Linux, and macOS platforms.
Browser initiated URL request
In the BeforeSendHeadersCallback
and ReceiveHeadersCallback
callbacks you can access the Browser
instance, which
initiated the corresponding URL request. For example:
network.set(BeforeSendHeadersCallback.class, params -> {
// Access the Browser instance initiated this URL request.
params.browser().ifPresent(browser -> {});
return BeforeSendHeadersCallback.Response.proceed();
});
network.set(ReceiveHeadersCallback.class, params -> {
// Access the Browser instance initiated this URL request.
params.browser().ifPresent(browser -> {});
return ReceiveHeadersCallback.Response.proceed();
});
Disabling BrowserView
Now you can disable/enable both the Swing and JavaFX BrowserView
component in both rendering modes using
the BrowserView.setEnabled(boolean)
method. The disabled BrowserView
renders web content as usual but ignores the
user input.
Improvements
- The library checks all the required dependencies on Linux platform and throws an exception if some dependencies are
missing and must be installed. The checking mechanism takes into account the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
environment variable. - Swing
BrowserView
is now positioned correctly inside a container without layout manager in the hardware accelerated rendering mode.
Fixed issues
- Wrong scaling when moving
BrowserView
on macOS from an HiDPI to Non-HiDPI display and vice versa. - Broken painting when removing and adding the same Swing
BrowserView
component in the off-screen rendering mode. - Infinite await after closing an
Engine
instance during stopping JavaFX application. - Overriding URL request with the same HTTP headers in the
ReceiveHeadersCallback
callback leading to an issue when some websites stop loading. - The
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Failed to determine action class
error when registering a callback which implements two or more callback interfaces. - The Swing
BrowserView
bounds are incorrect when displayed on the monitor with the scale factor > 100% and when the--force-device-scale-factor=1.0
Chromium switch is used. - The web content being displayed at the top left corner of the main screen when a Swing
BrowserView
component is embedded into theJTabbedPane
container. - The
Cookie
expiration time being ignored and invalid when putting a cookie to the cookie store. - The
key
property being empty when the keydown JavaScript event has been fired in the off-screen rendering mode. - Drag and drop not working properly on the Bing maps, HTML sliders, and the WebGL content in the off-screen rendering mode.
- The
java.lang.NullPointerException
error during constructing aJsError
instance. - Flickering during resizing WebGL content on Linux in the off-screen rendering mode.
- Memory leak when loading the web pages with the different domains in the off-screen rendering mode when
the
BrowserView
is displayed in both Swing and JavaFX. - The pending Chromium render processes when killing Java process when Chromium Sandbox is disabled on Windows.
- Wrong
BrowserView
being displayed when two or moreBrowserView
instances are used inJTabbedPane
in the hardware-accelerated rendering mode on macOS. - Wrong Frame in the
PointInspection
structure for an HTML element located inside anIFRAME
. CookieStore
not being able to delete the cookies which were set by a web server.- Native crash when displaying a JavaFX Stage with the
TabPane
that containsBrowserView
